Default Medication Questions??

If the ABC-R's all have the basic same rate of effectiveness, why would anyone choose anything other then Avonex?
Once a week injection.....that offers the same protection?

Reports I read, say that the DMD's that came out in the 1990's have really worked to slow the progression and reduce relaspes. How do they get this information?? First, all is theory that we know about MS. AND the number of people that I continue to read about, leads me to believe that these meds do not work as the research would lead us to believe.

I am allergic to many medications. I had reactions to Tysabri, and Gilenya. Now my neuro wants me to consider Avonex or Copaxone. He said no to the other DMD's because of my allergic reactions.

I just wish there was HONEST research if these drugs help. I really don't want to take them, but getting worse and feeling pressured to try another one??

HELP!!
